Emergency Food Supply
Consumable Emergency Food Supply
Do you have an emergency food supply in your home for use “just in case”? In today’s world we have each become accustomed to having anything we want at our fingertips. Few of us have considered what would happen if we were not able to get to the corner market OR if the corner market did not have food on their shelves. With natural disasters this is a very real possibility. I live on an earthquake fault line. Our BIG EARTHQUAKE is about 100 years overdue. Having an emergency food supply on hand is very important to me and should be to you!
Rising prices and unemployment can mean that you simply do not have the money you need to buy food as was the case with my family when I was a child. It makes good sense to store food in your home so that your family can endure emergencies more comfortably.

In years past it was common practice to store a one year emergency food supply of dehydrated foods that tasted like cardboard. No one can be happy eating something that tastes like cardboard. Instead, I suggest you build your 1 year emergency food supply around your family’s favorite recipes. I offer 2 options to my clients nationwide.
- A six meal emergency food supply plan pulled from your family’s favorite recipes where yourotate through the meals so one of the recipes is prepared and served once every four days. Each of these 6 recipe options is served approximately once each month OR
- A twelve meal plan pulled from your family’s favorite recipes where you will rotate through the meals in exactly the same way except each of the 12 recipes is served approximately once every other month. This emergency food supply meal plan offers greater variety.
The fine details for making this plan work include:
- keeping your supply stocked up!
- choosing recipes that are made with foods that a) come canned or bottled b) have a two year or greater shelf life, and c) are easy to store
If you need some help, I have done this over and over with my clients who hire me to help them get their emergency food supply in order. I can make YOUR recipes work!
